I had such a great time taking photos of Ingrid! She needed some new headshots and portraits for her real-estate business; Multiple Realty Ltd.

It was a very very windy day, so we spent some time inside Richmond City Hall and then outside as well when the wind died down a bit. It was fun and such a pleasure to work with you Ingrid! πŸ™‚

PS How do you all like my new blog design!? πŸ˜€

Joe & Mikaela’s wedding was held at the fabulous UBC Boathouse in January. There was some sunshine, clouds, rain, and snow by the end of the night!Β The colours red and black were prominently featured throughout the wedding; the decor and the bridal party’s ensemble especially.Β Everything and everyone were very well-coordinated and put together πŸ™‚

It was so great to shoot this wedding. The ceremony was so sweet, the food was delicious, the people were all so nice, and the ceremony and reception were all in the same place!Β That was a first for me, I had never seen a set-up like that before – super convenient.

Thank you Joe & Mikaela. You are both amazing individuals and an even more amazing couple. You both clearly have a love for each other that will last a lifetime and I felt so lucky to have been able to capture your wedding day! May God bless you always.

And a big thank you to my friend and second-shooter for this wedding; Danielle Dobson!

Enjoy the photos!

They are too cute.

The ceremony/reception hall.

Monogrammed glasses for each guest and super cute table numbers.

Mikaela’s ring fits inside Joe’s ring hehe.

The snow didn’t last for very long, but it was so perfect for ending their wedding.Β

This past month was full of love, a Valentine’s contest, a Valentine’s photo-shoot, engagement shoot prep, the start of my scavenger hunt contest, and my two new puppies!! πŸ˜€

The wonderful Abbye Dahl took some photos of me and my rat-a-pap puppies (rat terrier x papillon); Brodie and Gradie.
Check out their cute-ness.

They are very affectionate πŸ˜›

Gradie + BrodieWe built them a doggie-door with little steps!Β 

And here are some of my instagram photos from this month (because sometimes an iphone is just more convenient).
Enjoy! πŸ™‚

HELLO everyone out there!

I am excited to announce that I am starting up my “Scavenger Hunt Contest” that I have been talking about for almost a year now.
My goal was to get 200 likes on my facebook page for Marie Skerl Photography (you can see it HERE).
And now that I have (YAY!) I can start giving out 50% off coupons for portrait sessions!! Who doesn’t want 50% off some lovely photos right?

Buuuut the catch is YOU have to FIND the card that entitles you to the 50% off. I know most people don’t want to leave their house or work too much for these kind of things, but trust me it’s worth it. You could get headshots for only $100, engagement shoots for only $125, maternity photos for only $125, etc. I want to give people out there who admire my work, but just don’t have quite enough cash to pay for photos a chance for some photos they can cherish at just half the price. πŸ™‚

My first card is hidden somewhere I have taken engagement photos before and is a pretty common place to walk your dog(s) in Ladner.
It used to be a place with a lot of bunnies.

Here are some shots of the card and where it is placed, the first one to find it and contact me gets 50% off their choice of portrait session!! Aaaand GO!!!

Please continue to like my facebook page HERE as it will be the source of revealing my next card placement. After every “50” likes I will hide a new card. I have 20 cards altogether. So, get liking! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! πŸ˜€

Lots of love,

Marie

PS THIS CARD HAS BEEN FOUND!! Check out the facebook page HERE for more information on the next one.

In honour of Valentine’s Day, I have a fun little photoshoot that I would like to share with you πŸ™‚
My lovely assistant; Allissa Best, got all dressed up in a gorgeous soft pink vintage dress (perfect for Valentines Day) and we headed out on a very foggy and windy day to take some photos.Β We hauled along an antique chair of mine and some wonderful vintage binoculars and lanterns as well.

Gorgeous girl.

Rose Hips.

Hehe so cute.

Love is in the air.

Again she has super cute shoes πŸ˜›

A pink heart mist.

A BIG thank you to Allissa and her sister; Isabelle, for helping me out with this shoot!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!! <3

Lots of love,
Marie

PS This whole post kind-of reminds me of a song that I love by “The Head and The Heart”

Right now I am saving for a nice digital camera, ‘the fancy ones’ as I call them. πŸ™‚ I want you to know, that I LOVE your photography!!! It totally inspires me, and as soon as I get ‘my’ camera, I am going to try SO many of the things you do! Until then, I shall content myself with stalking your blog. πŸ˜‰ xoReplyCancel
